Who mentioned this in another thread? Good work.

Not hoping for much but there is your Howe replacement if he has decent mitts...

    "Although he once kept Gary Ablett Snr goalless in an outstanding individual display at the Cattery in round 16, 2006"

    What?

    Classic Burgan mistake.

    I'm impressed that Shaun Smith was still playing in 2006.

    could explain why Gary Ablett senior was goalless

    Joel Smith | Victoria | 64 | SG

    Smith was a member of the Australian U19 squad in last years Pacific Championships and was one of the key players coming off the bench, averaging 10.3 ppg & 3.3 rpg on 49% FG. Smith was also a member of the Australian squad that attended the 2014 Nike All-Asia Camp in June.

    You can watch him score 18 points here -

    Somehow I don't think we are going to find any footy highlights ...

    I will be down at Casey so I will see how he develops next season.

    Vaguely heard about this 6 months ago, but hadn't heard anymore.

    Welcome and good luck Joel!

    "He tests sub 2.80 [20 metres]. Given his basketball , hes got good speed, agility and vertical leaping. Hes also got a solid endurance base, he said."

    This made me think, hmm thats fast:

    Alex Morgan - 2.88 seconds

    Kurt Mutimer - 2.88

    Liam Jeffs - 2.89

    Daniel Rioli - 2.89

    Thomas Glen - 2.90

    Declan Moutford - 2.90

    Callum Moore - 2.91

    David Cuningham - 2.91

    Hisham Kerbatieh - 2.94

    Jordan Snadden - 2.94

    2014 20 metre sprint results (sec)

    Marvin Baynham 2.81

    Oleg Markov 2.87

    Jarrod Pickett 2.87

    Reece McKenzie 2.87

    Connor Menadue 2.88

    Nakia Cockatoo 2.90

    Ed Langdon 2.92

    Paddy Brophy 2.93

    Conor McKenna 2.93

    Nathan Drummond 2.93

    Best at the combine of all time:

    Top Combine performances (seconds) Joel Wilkinson 2.75 2010 Jonathan Marsh 2.78 2013 Danyle Pearce 2.79 2004 Ashley Smith 2.80 2008 Marvin Baynham 2.81 2014 Nathan Freeman 2.82 2013 Jack Watts 2.82

    Who remembers when his dad ran off Allen Jakovich at the G from fullback and kicked a goal?

    Sometimes basketball clubs/academies measure blokes "with shoes on" as they would rarely play without them...

    • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

      Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

    • PREGAME: St. Kilda

      With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

    • REPORT: Richmond

      Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.

      The Dees ran another clinic for the second week in a row as they easily accounted for the Tigers in the lightning interrupted shortened match at Mars Stadium in Ballarat.

    • VOTES: Richmond

      Kozzy Pickett was the man of the match last week and has a vote lead over backup ruck Max Heath who didn't play this week and 5 votes over former Saint Jack Steele. Who gets the votes in this weeks shortened match win over the Tigers? Your votes please. 6, 5, 4, 3, 2 & 1.

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day and the 2026 AFL Premiership season is almost upon us as the Demons take to the field for their final practice match before the first ball is kicked in anger in 16 days time. What are you expecting to see from the Dees today as they take on the Tigers at Mars Stadium in Ballarat?
